World Myths and Legends in Art

Myths are stories that explain why the world is the way it is. All cultures have them. Throughout history, artists have been inspired by myths and legends and have given them visual form. Sometimes these works of art are the only surviving record of what particular cultures believed and valued. But even where written records or oral traditions exist, art adds to our understanding of myths and legends.

This collection of images brings together 26 works of art in the collection of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts inspired by mythology around the world. The rich variety of images makes it possible for teachers to address a wide range of study areas, including language arts, humanities, art, social and cultural studies, and world religions. You can click on the "Enlarge" link under each work of art to enlarge the image in a new window, and zoom in to see greater detail. The "Art by Theme" section will help you explore the relationships among the images. Have fun being creative with these materials!

Life is Life

Title	Life is Life
Creator	Stephanie Watson
Date	2009
Institution	Minneapolis Institute of Arts
Location	http://www.stephanie-watson.com/lifeislife/

Life is Life is the story of a melancholy frog that author Stephanie Watson discovered living in a cereal box in her kitchen pantry. Behind his tiny red door, Angelo the frog plays the piano and tries in vain to compose a song for his lost love Rosaline. Stephanie tries to help him write his song, and heal his broken heart, through a combination of friendship, art and cereal.

At the turning point in the story, the two take a trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to see some paintings. In addition to this being a story of friendship, it's also an introduction to some wonderful pieces in the museum's collection. It's an exploration into the healing power of art.
